Recruiting and Networking

The following events are targeted, fluid power recruitment and networking events that are conducted virtually or on school campuses, exclusively for NFPA members.

Upcoming Workforce Events

Workforce Engagement Group sessions serve as a forum to discuss activities and opportunities designed to connect NFPA members with the Fast Track to Fluid Power and Power Partner programs. Both programs create awareness and attention to fluid power education at 2- year and 4- year institutions and gives participating members increased visibility to emerging talent in their region and provides recruitment opportunities to more successfully interact with students interested in careers in our industry.

At this meeting, we will invite our faculty contacts from our Power Partner Universities as well as NFPA industry representatives to join us in a discussion regarding student educational projects.
